More details have been revealed of the in-build 55.2-metre yacht Geco, as Admiral gears up for her 2020 delivery. The yacht has an exterior design by the Italian shipyard’s in-house team, who developed the interior design with the Italian Sea Group.
As Admiral was putting the finishing touches to its latest launch, 65-metre Life Saga, we went aboard for an exclusive preview with owner’s rep and build captain Chris Delves.

Recently distinguished at the World Superyacht Awards 2015 as Best Semi-Displacement or Planing Two-Deck Motor Yacht of 30m to 37.99m, M/Y NONO captivated international visitors thanks to her bold exterior styling, refined interiors, and advanced technical features. Constructed entirely in aluminium, with semi-displacement hull, shallow draft and impressive long-range capability, NONO was particularly admired by prospective owners seeking versatile cruising performance for the Caribbean.
Alongside NONO, Admiral unveiled its all-new ‘Vestal’ series, developed in collaboration with Setzer Yacht Architects and specifically conceived to appeal to the American and Latin American markets. The new line, infused with Italian artistry and elegance, comprises three models: Vestal 42m (semi-displacement aluminium), Vestal 50m (full-displacement steel/aluminium), and Vestal 62m (full-displacement steel/aluminium).
During the show, imagery and specifications of the full range were presented, together with the official unveiling of the scale model of the Vestal 5000. Designer Ward Setzer attended the event, outlining the disciplined design approach that characterises the series.
As a further sign of commitment to the United States, Admiral also announced the forthcoming opening of a dedicated corporate office in Fort Lauderdale in January 2016, strengthening the Group’s presence across the Americas and ensuring closer service to clients, brokers and captains.
The Italian Sea Group continues to affirm its position as one of the world’s leading international players in luxury yachting, uniting innovation, Italian heritage and global reach.
The redelivery of S/Y Kaizen once again highlights The Italian Sea Group’s ability to successfully work on prestigious yachts, combining deep expertise in full-custom design with excellence in the refit and repair of superyachts, megayachts, and sailing yachts.
